Certainly not the greatest of images – I still thought it might be an interesting view of the fire in the Glebe for folks who live in Ottawa.
Shot this while leaning against my boardroom window at Carling & Bronson hand-held with the Canon G11 and processing Lightroom 3 Beta with Silverefex Pro for the B&W conversion. I gotta say, especially for point & shoot images (like the G11) running a filter over them like ones from Nik Software are a great way to give them some PUNCH that they may otherwise be missing due to technical limitations.
looks like a photojournalism shot from iraq or something. nice work!
The high contrast is a great idea in this urban B&W
I like it. Very nice.
i actually really like it too. its funny sometimes the photos the photographer hates and criticizes everyone ends up loving. i find that happens often.
